"As teachers, we all want to be better for our students—but the path to better is often foggy or overwhelming” Without question, going directly to students to get feedback is 100% a win in the classroom—not always easy to read through all the results and engage in conversations, but worth it.
It's here! The biggest thing I've *ever* worked on for @edutopia.org (or ever).
Gratitude to my co-author @youkiterada.bsky.social who did IMMENSE heavy-lifting, and our incisive editor @stephenmerrill.bsky.social.
Big thanks to @albertocairo.com and @misssarahleo.bsky.social for their wisdom!
Sometimes, it can be hard to tell if students are actually following along with a lesson, or if ideas are sticking. What’s your favorite way to check for understanding without giving a quiz?
Out of the six different moves, I think this one around the "zoom in to emphasize difference" is going to be the first I use. But others are worth trying out, too.
🙏 to @tatertutt.bsky.social, @youkiterada.bsky.social and @edutopia.org for this one—yet another immediate turnaround piece!
